Hi @Donno4, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
The "File Corrupt" message on your HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M277dw when using macOS Monterey (12.0) is likely due to a driver issue, macOS security settings, or a problem with the printing system. Try the following troubleshooting steps:
Reset the Printing System
- Click on the Apple menu () > System Preferences > Printers & Scanners.
- Right-click (or hold Control and click) on the printer list and select Reset printing system.
- Confirm by clicking Reset.
- Restart your Mac and re-add the printer.
Reinstall HP Printer Drivers
- Uninstall HP Software:
- Download the Correct Driver:
- Go to HP’s official website: HP Software & Driver Downloads.
- Search for your printer model: Color LaserJet Pro MFP M277dw.
- Download and install the latest macOS-compatible HP Print Drivers.
- Reinstall & Set Up:
- You can use HP smart app and reinstall.
Use Apple’s Built-in AirPrint (Instead of HP Drivers)
- Go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners.
- Click + (Add Printer).
- Select your HP M277dw.
- Under Use, select AirPrint (instead of HP drivers).
- Click Add and try printing again.
Check for macOS Security Permissions
macOS security settings may block some HP software.
- Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
- Under the General tab, look for any messages about HP software being blocked.
- If found, click Allow.
Try Printing from Preview or Safari
If the error happens only in certain applications, try printing a PDF from Preview or a webpage from Safari. This can help determine if the issue is app-specific.
Check for macOS Updates
- Apple menu () > System Preferences > Software Update.
- If an update is available, install it and restart.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
